Progress, sometimes happens slowly but in our case we are heading along at a steady rate. On Saturday, I went up to pull the cover off the caravan and get things tidied up and do an inventory of the things we have in the van and the things I need to further accomplish. Mission accomplished. the cover is off and I have partially made the bed. Partially, because the doona cover which I was meant to take up with me is still in the garage! Cleaned out the boot area in the Caravan and listed all the stuff in  there. Later this week I can go up and complete the task. Today is to be dedicated to catching up on my Uni study and preparing my next and final assignment for this unit. Onward and upward as they say! Our memory foam mattress topper strategically placed on the mattress because I am struggling to get it out of the packaging! Ah Well, I got there! A strategically placed sunburst to signify theat we are approaching a 'Brand New HOLIDAY!!'

Hi everybody; Wow; time is passing very quickly now and we have been just finalising the details with the house renovations. Today the photos, for our photo wall, are going to be selected and printed. When we have those up and done, we will be well and truly organised. I'll do a little bit of gardening out the back and that's about all there is to be done. Tomorrow will be a big day, I am going up to the caravan and I will be pulling all of the stuff out to clean it and just do some preparation. The cover will come off and I have to fix the new Jockey wheel to the van. Today's post is just a few comments to remind you all that I am still here and keeping the blog going until we get on the road in Ernest. That is when I will start to blog some real information about our trip. Thank's for continuing to check out our blog, I see that there is a constant stream of visits! Richard

Hi to All; Sorry that I have been so tardy posting on the blog lately. Still, I have been busy. We have finally painted the garage now, and I have put up all of the blinds and hung all of the pictures on the walls! The only thing left to do is our photo wall, which means I have to get busy, printing some photos. My first trip out to the Caravan has now happened and my plan is to get the covers off the van this Saturday to start sprucing everything up, cleaning it out and then we will restock it for our trip! I'm getting excited now!! Finally, I have finished planning our trip around Australia, and I will post a link at the end of the blog today. It took so much longer to do the planning than I had expected, so I pass on my apologies. So if you are interested in having a look, just click on the link below! Wiki Camps Map of our holiday plan
